What to Watch on Friday: More fingers to point to Lecter on ‘Hannibal’

Hannibal (10pm, NBC) - Will ( Hugh Dancy) makes claims about the Chesapeake Ripper’s true identity (spoiler alert: it’s Hannibal Lecter) and Dr. Able Gideon (the amazing Eddie Izzard) arrives to confirm his suspicions. This leads to a plan to put an end to the Ripper once and for all. Elsewhere, Will enlists Freddie’s help to contact his lethal admirer, and Alana becomes suspicious of Will’s intentions.
